Plastic debris causes the deaths of more than a million seabirds and 100,000 marine mammals every year.

Syringes, cigarette lighters and toothbrushes have been found inside the stomachs of dead seabirds, which mistake them for food.

Last year 2,055 million litres of bottled water were consumed in the UK. That’s 33 litres per person and a lot of plastic. One in every six soft drinks purchased was water, which is astounding considering you can get water for free.

Consumers even paid for 226 million litres of what was just bottled tap water by another name.
